S-Acetyl L-Glutathione is an absorbable form of L-Glutathione , but what is L-Glutathione ? L-Glutathione, as known as GSH , is a naturally occurring tri-peptide that is considered as the most powerful antioxidant produced naturally in the body. It prevents cell and mitochondrial damage from free radicals, and plays an important role in Anti-Aging , energy production and so on .

But as a matter of fact, the body’s ability to produce , recycle and absorb glutathione declines with age , in order to maintain a proper level of glutathione in body , people needs to supplement glutathione .But unfortunately , glutathione rapidly degrades once it hits the stomach. stomach acid dissolves the glutathione molecules before they are absorbed, allowing only a fraction of the glutathione to actually reach your cells.

Therefore, we recommend to supplement S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (CAS NO: 3054-47-5), which is the acetylated and absorbable form of glutathione to increase the absorption and bioavailability. S-Acetyl-Glutathione is the first orally stable form of glutathione that is absorbed intact and increases intracellular glutathione levels. S-Acetyl-Glutathione is a lipid-like molecule that is taken up intact by chylomicrons in the digestive tract. Once S-Acetyl-Glutathione reaches the blood stream, the acetyl group protects it from breakdown by peptidases. Studies show that S-Acetyl-Glutathione crosses the cell membrane more easily than glutathione itself. Once inside the cell, the acetyl group on S-Acetyl-Glutathione is removed and the glutathione molecule is free inside the cell which is exactly where it is needed. That’s why S-Acetyl-L-Glutathione has an absorption rate of over 90%
